Hello everyone! I recently began contemplating rooting and doing custom installs for my 959, for something fresh and better performing, also seems my music player has been acting up recently and am really interested in something new along with voodoo sound... If necessary anymore ? Thing is, there are so many ways to root, and there are so many custom roms??? I don't know where to start or what to look for? I just want one of the better, stable, new custom roms available as of this date for the t-959. I search but seems there's no definitive answer? Just a lot of roms haha?
Also when downloading a rom, do I have to download like 30-40-50 kernels and add them? I see all these roms, kernels and update??? Is it just download a rom and that's it, am I making more of it than it should be?
I'm just really noob'ish, really confused, and really, really nervous! I can't afford to brick this phone, but I really want something new.
Thanks for reading, and I apologize for some of the silly questions I have asked .
I fell in love with rom flashing as it greatly improves performance and gives phone a new look. Especially since Vibrant isn't supported anymore.. I can't live without voodoo goodies=) Definitely improves sound.
Negative side of custom roms is it takes up some of your time.. Finding a rom you like, tweaking it.. Not too mention you might brick you phone.
If you decide so.. the most important thing is always read OP...
I used superoneclick to root. I recommend Bionix 1.3.1 as a first rom very stable though a bit outdated. After playing around with the rom, you can try different 2.2 kernels and modems. Then go on to gingerbread roms.=)
Extremely easy. I'd suggest reading some of my guides in my signature.
I would Odin
Then download a ROM (nothing else needed)
Download my option b update.zip
Move both to internal sd
Reboot into recovery
Click reinstall packages
Choose to install zip from sd, select ROM, reboot.

Thank you trailblazer and thanks s15....
Any roms you would recommend s15? I appreciate the starting rom you gave me Trail, I'm looking for something a little more up to date I suppose? I was looking at cm7 or Simply Honey 5.0 Revolution(JVR GB 2.3.4)? Something with voodoo already in it? Something pretty stable with a bit of features. Maybe a lil less lag than stock 2.2, better performance, audio and battery life as well?
Thanks so much again both!
cm7 in nightlies still, though seem pretty stable, i havent tried for a while. Lots of features though dont think battery too great.
Simply Honey is a good one, stable, lots of features, great developer support.
I'm currently on RevolutionRom 2.3.4, stable and smooth for me, only bad is itfreezes like once or twice a day. More of a sgs2 look which i like. Good battery.
FYI Flashing Gingerbread roms, you will need to flash gingerbread bootloaders to remove rainbows and see recovery ( theres a post on it)
Also GPS isn't stable on gingerbread.

I think I'm gonna try the simply honey one or wait till he does a final release?, as for the bootloaders, what do I do or go to there? Also for the kernels, do I need to download one for simply honey? Should I download one for it?
I seen some roms or kernel can improve wifi and signal? Is that true, if so point me in that direction hahaha...
Thanks so much bro by the way.
search for Vibrant gingerbread bootloader, it's flashable via odin..simply honey roms comes with bullet kernel & there's Simply Honey Talon Kernel build by simone201 =)
Thanks man, do you mind if I ask which one you would recommend (Odin or Clockwork?)... I stumbled upon this youtube how to called "Custom ROM installation tutorial for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant)", and was just wondering if I can apply all his methods to SH 5.0? Sorry tried to link it but cannot due to my post count... Oh and when I'm done, how should I proceed with the new talon kernel?
Also if there's a new release of honey or the final release, say I installed this one... Do I have to do it all over again? Same wit kernels? Finally, do I need to revert my unrooted stock 2.2 froyo back to a previous version before gingerbread or any of this?
Thanks for your reply. I'm actually feeling like it's almost go time with this rom and kernel haha. Really thanks heaps!
D bootloader is only flashable by odin..you can read the OP for simply honey, what you need is all in there in d development area..flash kernel that works 4ur phone u decide on that wether bullet or talon..you can use sgs kernel flasher to switch bet the two..

One last question before I do this, I seen SH 5.1, but I seen it was for the i9000? Which one should be used? or the one you may recommend? Im looking for voodoo sound controls.
Thanks
EDIT:
Nevermind I read it will be up tomorrow... gonna do 5.1, this is pretty exciting as long as I don't screw anything up hahaha
i reverted back to stock firmware via odin and one click rooted my phone, factory wiped all data and now I remember after I rooted my phone I had unzipped file in my sd card and it told me that i can just delete it after I was done, well i did and then watched a video on clockwork that said not to delete it?
EDIT: Nevermind I fixed it, I just unrooted and rooted again...
So sorry for being a pain, I know you guys have better things to do.
3 questions and this thread is done... thanks for the help...
1. Does the market work on simply honey? Like can go in and search and download it like usual?
2. should I use odin to install 5.1 or cw?
3. how does the kb5 work? is that like default or do i have to flash it?
Thanks a million in advance!

So it is posible ? I dont to brick my phone.
On psp when you flash custom firmware on official 6.XX later you can brick you psp. (its only example)
But therefore I ask.
So I can flash every x10(i) with any rom. And it's not dependent on actual rom. Yes or no ?

The X10's flash mode is hard coded in.. so if you set up the flashtool, you can always revert back to a stock original or branded rom. Even if you crash in the middle of rom install, you still have the ability to go back using the flash tool or SEUS repair.
Most roms are a continuing project and in different phases of it.. some are from scratch and some are ports from other phones, all roms have different abilities and perks to running them. CM7 roms give extended system tweaks, and MIUI roms are almost a totally different framework altogether, but they are very smooth.
Kernels are the linux system behind it all, some roms will wipe the original kernel and replace it.. or if you go through the amazing process of unlocking your bootloader, you can have the actual kernel itself replaced.. the perks of this are mostly for overclocking & undervolting to get better performance and/or battery life.
I find no matter which dirrection I go with a rom or kernel, it always seems to have its significant advantages.. If you run into a jam feel free to PM me and I will try and guide you in what ever your venture is, I think I have installed every rom at 1 time or another lol.. best of luck!
even if u brick it can be easily resolved to the normal state...only sometimes it becomes a big pain in a** !! else its cool to go around flashing !!!

Hi. I have decided to upgrade my samsung galaxy s2 with miui. Since this is my first time flashing an android device I have a couple of questions.
Firstly, is there a reason why I shouldnt install miui on my phone aside from the void warrancy?
#do I get the warrancy back if I unroot and unflash before I take my device to the service?
Next, i have read that i need to root the device first, before i can install miui. Is that true?
#which kernel should I use for that?
I have heard that siyahkernel Is the best. But on the xda thread it says it isnt compatible with any ICS roms. Will it work with miui 4? Is this thread a root at all? I can only assume it is because it has cpu/gpu oc/uc and ov options...
Also, cfroot Has a big and detailed thread. But this one does not support rom manager. I'd need to use cwm for flashing. Is this a problem?
So with which kernel do I go?
No, use a jig too.
Use Cfroot.
What? You don't need rom manager, not sure what you're getting at here.
I'd recommend using a gingerbread version of miui as it's your first time. Gb is stable, ics isn't 100% there yet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Good choice going with miui, however I wouldn't use the ics versions at the moment as they are buggy. I would personally recommend wiui latest gingerbread version as it is stable as hell and works with siyah.

Thanks for the reply. But:
Whats a jih?
MIUI install guide (miuiandroid(dot)com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/) says to use ROM manager. But I suppose cwm does the same thing.
I've read somewhere that the last sgs2 miui version is based on official 4.0.3 samsung files. Shouldn't that mean that there are no bugs aside from the ones which are also found on samsung update channels?
I really mainly want miui because of ics, and chrome browser. I have no interest in voiding my warrancy so I can stay on gingerbread. The better UI simply isn't worth it. So you suggest I wait for official samsung updates? (I do want the better UI...)
Thanks for the reply!
Cheers
No, miui ics introduces several bugs of its own despite being based on samsung rom.

A jig resets your "Custom binary counter", the thing that counts how many times you've flashed a rom/kernel/whatever. Samsung will see its above 0 and may, or may not, said that your warranty is still void.
If you're really that desperate for ics, go for it. Just make a Nandroid backup with CWM incase you don't like it.
No, it's still buggy, but it is still really good & can be used as a daily rom, I would think.

I wouldn't say that I am desperate for ics, but I am pretty sure I will install miui at one time anway. I don't like the cartoonish icons of touchwiz. The question I think right now is, whether I install ICS right now, or should I wait for ICS to become availabe on KIES and install miui later. (I suppose they'll fix the remaining bugs than)
Also, does anyone suggest a different rom than miui, which is better for some reason? I like eyecandy, but I do want performace as well.
Thanks for your answers.
Cheers
Edit:
If I do upgrade to ics and miui. All I have to do is root it with cfroot and use cwm to do a nandroid backup, and than use cwm to install miui 2.3.16?

If you're not desperate then flash miui 2.3.9. Best rom I've ever used.
MIUI is already rooted. Just root whatever you're on now, make a Nandroid backup of that, and then flash miui. Btw, once you're on miui you'll never turn back

Fair enough.
The thread title does however confuse me:
MIUI ROM 2.3.9 Releases [GB] & [ICS ENGLISH FULL]
miuiandroid(dot)com/community/threads/miui-rom-2-3-9-releases-gb-ics-english-full.15662/
So miui 2.3.9 for sgs2 is gb based. If i understand correctly than I have to download from this thread. But isn't installing old versions dumb? Or is 2.3.16 a major jump which introduces new bugs?
Edit:
Okay as far as I understand 2.3.9 is GB and 2.3.16 is ICS. 2.3.9 works very good while 2.3.16 is laggy.
So to get this straight:
I want to install miui 2.3.9-- The steps are:
update to latest version. (i have dukg2 i'll go to kj3)
root with cfroot
backup with nandroid
system wipe, galvik wipe, cache wipe
install miui rom with cwm
???
This is it?
Edit2:
Is there a way to store my defender savegame?
Edit3:
I have read that siyah kernel is very fast. How do i install that kernel?
Do I do all the steps liste above, and than when I am done installing miui install siyah kernel?
Turns out siyah has NTFS usb OTG feature. I now really want siyah.

Before i got samsung galaxy s2 I had a nokia 5800 for 3 years. It was like switching from a sedan to formula 1. I am still so impressed by the power of SGS2 that some minor performance improovements aren't important. Not yet at least...
Thus I am looking for eyecandy (since i can't get ICS and chrome just yet). Which as I've hear MIUI is best at.
Besides, there's no link in your sig. Otherwise i'd love to take a look at that rom. What does miui lack at btw?

Look in xda sgs2 forum is 20 normals rom and 2 miui, you can change what kernel you want, what theme you want, coz almost all is compatible each others. For miui you need special kernel, special theme, etc. Don`t wasting you time using miui

Big banner that says "SlimROM by krinyo75"... not visible on xda's app. Skinny, fast, monochrome - the way I like it (yes, I tried BAT)
What does miui lack:
- installed adfree, still got many ads.
- sammy's stock browser is so much better than MIUI's
- camera is nowhere near good enough
- flaky GPS
- laggy music player (tried it first on my SGS waybackwhen, still no better)
- limited kernel choice
- all phone numbers hyphenated after 3 digits
- don't want workarounds for an app drawer - I want an app drawer, period
Sure some of these sound petty, but horses for courses... since MIUI v4 will be based on Samsung's framework and kernel sources are now released, I'll try it again when it's done.
One thing I love about MIUI - only non-3rd party contacts app I've seen with a list view - no photos, no stupid icon next to contact name.

Hello to all...
First and foremost... I have been a long time xda site viewer and today is the first time I have registered to xda and bought the xda premium app to support this wonderful site.
I know the first rule is to search for answers, i tried searching but couldn't find it. Mine is a peculiar question that I hope can be resolved.
I have flashed my i9100 at least 50 over times. Flashing addict, you can say. Custom and stock roms. My typical routine is to do a full wipe:
1) remove sim and external sd, format usb storage under settings
2) enter cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
3) mount sd card, data, system...and format each of them
4) flash stock rom (KI3, 3 files version and repartition with. Pit). Repartition for a proper clean flash. I know some may disagree, so i have tried without it too.
5) flash cf-root, copy custom rom and perform steps 1-3 again. Except for wiping sdcard for obvious reasons.
6) flash custom rom and reboot, allowing 10 mins for software to sync in fully.
7) flash custom kernel of choice, current favourite being Neak kernel.
I have done this so many times i believe its the best to gauge the full potential of the custom rom, including battery life. I am really obsessive,. But I am patient enough.
However i just so happened to notice recently that after stock flash, i.e. After step 4 with stock kernel, i tried sliding the status bar for the brightness adjusting. To my surprise it works. Now that is not suppose to be the case. Especially after i have performed complete albeit unnecessary wipes. Someone please explain this phenomenon. Is the custom kernels 'hard encoding' our sgs2? If not is there another method of reformat that completely cleans your phone? I even tried ultimate Samsung cleaning script. Same thing.
Sorry for the long read. But I wanted to highlight this issue clearly for the experts here to discuss.

Great, but i do believe for the need for a proper kernel cleaning before installing a new kernel. As clearly illustrated by my example here. Funnily enough not many developers have picked up on this. Android is sure complicated in the hands of the experienced and noobs alike.

At least two kernel cleaners posted here for a very rarely posted problem that is usuall the user not following instructions .
Kernel cleaner is not required in normal use .
Flash kernel and it changes .
Use kernel cleaner is really to make sure none of the advanced settings remain otherwise not required and i would only use if changing custom kernels .My kernel count must be over 200 by now .
Android is sure complicated in the hands of the experienced and noobs alike.
Yep what is required is more FAQS and Guides for nobody to read .

I thought so too, i normally use kernel cleaning scripts when i change roms or kernels. It's just that, sometimes i do not cause not many people here seem to talk about it.
I have yet to try it and reconfirm this theory of needing kernel cleaning scripts before flashing new roms with different kernels. Once I try it out, soon, i will post again. Then i think, developers out there should pick this up as part of their recommended steps for a full wipe or rather clean flash of a new kernel, esp if changing kernel.
Keep you guys posted... Thanks jje

Hi guys,
Just to update anyone who has been reading this previously...
I have just reflashed to stock xwla4, the frankenstein version, i.e, stock kernel. With clean wipe/format, whatever you wanna call it, and still same results. Old kernel behaviour still present, i.e. Brightness adjustment via sliding status bar still present. I even reflashed a good 3 times with same stock rom, xwla4 (2times) and ki3. Also before each flash i also used ultimate Samsung cleaning script and the gblitz version. Still same issue. Can someone explain what is happening?
In case you are wondering, this is not a complaint thread but a hobby for to troubleshoot problems with our dear sgs2. So that we can all learn.
Thanks... Jk

I'm a bit at a loss... why are you are NOT expecting this? I am on stock XXKI3 (2.3.5), and have never flashed anything newer, or a custom ROM. I've always had this behavior of adjusting the brightness via the status bar. As far as I know, I had it when I was on XWKE7 (2.3.3) as well.

Ha... I was not aware that the brightness slider via status bar is part of stock behaviour. I always thought that it was introduced by custom kernels. Can someone else please confirm this. So we can put this issue to rest. If it's true then pardon me for my noobness. Thanks... Jk

Sounds like the script cleaner will not work (see posts 177 through 179) with ICS custom kernels...

I search the internet and i could not find the proper answers for this issues.
I managed to install Pound Rom on my phone, the stock rom banished, and i get a lame battery life( i know i know it depends on users). I am not doing anythin with my phone and it drops 3% per 100 minutes. Any suggestions?
I saw that you can use roms with Kernels, i saw a post with "what is your fav rom+kernel combination", what if install a rom and then apply a kernel which is incompatible? Will i brick my phone or just the rom? I will be able to reach cm to reflash another rom?
And if i installed a rom+kernel which are compatible, after deleting full data, wipping, and so on, it is ok to install a new rom and a new kernel without bricking? It is ok to wipe and go to stock rom from odin? I saw a couple of guys bricking their device somehow like that..
If i install stock i will get the exact performance like i had before, good battery life etc?
And how can i get TWRP recovery on my phone? I saw posts where devs said 'or use twrp recov' i googled and found an app on the play store which told you if s2 is compatible aaand it was not and that was like the only thing i found..
Sorry if my questions were answered somewhere else and i would appreciate if in any form you would help me

firstly threads about best rom kernel etc are not allowed still omega and cyanogen rom are the best
incompatible kernel MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE (chances are less but atleast it will cause bootloop)
you can always switch you rom(including stock rom by odin) by wiping data and flashing a new one
you will get same performance as before
twrp depends on which rom you are using prefer cwm bcoz its most compatible
Thanks for prompt answer!
